Really good set of plugins. Have you tried this plugin called ‘anti-spam’? Seems to be doing a wonderful job in blocking spam comments. At least I am finding its spam filtering mechanism to be far better than that of Akismet.

IIRC Code Snippets stores it’s snippets in the database. That’s far slower than having those in an easily parsable file which is fast to load.

A custom plugin with no admin functionality and just having the equivalent of the functions.php as the sole content is much easier. Then it will survive theme changes. And it also can be turned off easily.

Hey Frank, awesome job on both Autoptimize & WP YouTube Lyte! Surprised I didn’t stumble across the YouTube plugin earlier, it’s almost exactly what I need… for the audio-only mode, any chance you know of a way to prevent the controls from hiding once playback starts? I’ve got a black background so it appears to vanish entirely.

But I digress, the reason for my post was to mention that I used Code Snippets for a bit but ended switching to another similar plugin.. same simplicity but it provided a dead easy way for me to turn the snippet into a shortcode with parameters and had some onscreen clues which helped me to grasp the concepts more quickly when I barely knew what I was doing.. would recommend it to anyone looking for something along those lines. The screenshots can probably explain it better than I can though: https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-actions-and-filters/screenshots/
